He looked terrified. He was probably convinced he was going to burn to death in that building. God bless him and all firefighters the real heroes of the world

Coming up on 10 years as a firefighter and although knowing the nature of our culture, there's going to be laughs about it in the future when everyone's good but it still always hits a spot when you see a brother like that. Wishing them boys a speedy recovery. My brother's and sisters are why I do what I do and in some cases, they're why my daughters get to see their daddy come home at night.

May I ask you what would be the "fun" in this? As a firefighter, since more then 10 years, as it seems important to you. To loose a fellow firefighter is nothing that we want to do.. OUR lives are more important then the building or even lives in that building. One thing that American firefighters can learn is that "if it too hot for us, it is too hot for them"

I just read your comment again and I feel sorry for you.. to even laugh at this guy's PTSD is horrible ..

When you just know you're going to die. That rush is not easy to get over. It's not easy to calm down. Doesn't matter the situation, any close call will mess you up forever.

That’s crazy scary, poor fire fighter guy screaming. Such a scary job.

Hypoxia and fear of not escaping. Great job by his brothers getting him safe. Have been on the job 18 years but not had a moment like that. Gid Bless.

Thanks for the coverage. I'm glad they were able to get both of them out. They are going to be messed up mentally but with help will be back at it. Prayers to them and their families.

Heartbreaking video he's a badass and he will recover. God bless our firefighters.

30 yrs in..I fell from one floor to the one below,an then the floor fell on me..by the time they got to me I was up an grabbed the hose line,an was fighting the fire .an they wanted me to go out..I refused. Told them move on ,I'm good..good job guys..

These guys are heroes in every respect.

Being a firefighter for 17 yrs and still going somehow I’ve been hurt a couple of times and have had many scary ass close calls but never something like that. A lot of people don’t understand how dangerous our job really is. Speedy recovery brother.

I have been a firefighter for 25 years and if you think what you saw was acceptable risk verse benefit do me a favour and retire. What you just saw was a total disregard for the safety of those firefighters by the command section. There was ZERO benefit to be interior on a building that was 100% lost.

wow. idk quite how to respectfully comment about the incredible quality video and scenes you are delivering lately on such a graphic clip, but this was crazy and bless them firefighters

They are Super Heros!!! Wow.. they’re concern for him was absolutely a wow moment. They were calm and reassuring him that he was ok

To the amazing first responders. You are amazing and God bless you. Hope everyone will recover soon from this

They didn't need to be in there. So, what does that make them?

Poor man's in shock, bunker gear saved from from the burns, but still... being pinned by a slab inside a burning building will forever put fear in any man. ironically in a church.

Thought everyone was going to get stuck in the exit. Amazing they could get him out with everyone standing there in concern. I truly understand the panic and need to be ready to help.

I remember hearing a story about a fire fighter who rescued a family. When out side a fire truck came and the family was confused. They ask where’s the firefighter who saved us the said “we just got here” . 😮 firefighters are angels

Man thats gotta be the worst feeling ever as a chief, seeing one of ur guys getting pinned under debre right in front of u. My heart dropped to my stomach when i saw that😢😭

This was so hard to watch 💔😥

Great footage AA

I hope the firefighter makes a full recovery stay safe🙏

Thank God they got them out was holding My breath watching this. Amazing people bless you all xo

Prayers 🙏❤️✝️ and thank you to all of those hero’s

Speaking as a former volunteer firefighter from years ago? Im glad the two grew members or firefighters were rescued and are safe. Hopefully no one else was injired or worse meaning nobody was criticslly injured or loss of life occurred.

its still crazy to me that they are legit inside that building not masked up.

Excellent coverage AXN NEWS

I hope everyone got out safely. ✌🏻

Awesome video. I sure hope the injured firefighter is ok. Happy New Year...🤗🤗

Holy Shit! The dangers of that job. Glad they got him out. Excellent coverage

That fight or flight adrenaline rush when a firefighter fears they are about to die! So thankful the brothers did not waste time but went head on into the fray to rescue these firefighters!!!

Great footage! I appreciate all what AxN News does for us! Thank you. Plate C

Thank God they got their brother out of there alive. That's a HORRIBLE feeling knowing one of yours is down inside.

Imagine being suddenly pushed into a blazing oven and the door was shut behind you. That would be make anybody freak out, experienced smoke eater or not.

We're is this?

It looks like he is in shock and maybe not sure where he is.

soooo what went wrong... or is it easier to say what went right?

So easily preventable. It was obvious this was a defensive fire and there was nothing about this building that was going to be saved. No one should have even been standing in the collapse zone let alone inside the building. Glad they were able to get out.

God bless our fire personnel. Thankless underpaid job for these heros

Anybody ever want to see a definition of brotherhood show them this video.

A very brave group of people... But what puzzles me is, if no one was trapped inside (I'm not familiar with religion, but do people reside inside churches?), why would they take such great risks to enter the fire?

I’m going to be a Firefighter and rescue people

Why are they standing in a fully involved building fire that is clearly not savable and has no casualties to rescue? Completely avoidable situation, no scba right next to and in the smoke absorbing and breathing in carcinogens while under an unstable structure.

I hope the firefigher is OK

Im no expert by any means but it seems with all that fire through the roof I think I would have been defensive on this fire before the collapse.

If that was your loved one you be very upset about being exploited

This isn't heroics! This is nothing more than disrespectful childishness. Disrespectful to their families! There was absolutely NO REASON for them to be in there. The burning material could be accessed from the exterior through the doors and other openings. The roof structure had been compromised long before it collapsed. The families of these fireplayers should take notice after they take the rose-colored glasses off and Evaluate Their Performance.
